Gulf of Mexico:

The humidity from the Gulf makes Texas a unique place for weather, according to Cory Van Pelt, National Weather Service meteorologist. Humidity meets the dry air that moves westward in the spring and “you get pretty much all extremes in this state,” Van Pelt said.

Number of hail damage claims in Texas from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015, which ranked first in the U.S. for most hail damage insurance claims during that time, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

San Antonio’s April hailstorm damage topping $2 billion

1 / 82

Back to Gallery

April hailstorms that pummeled the San Antonio area are projected to have caused more than $2 billion in damage, according to updated estimates from the Insurance Council of Texas.

The council revised their initial estimate from April 20 of $1.36 billion in damages as claims continued to roll in over the last month, said spokesman Mark Hanna. The group’s original projection was based on claims received within about a week of the April 12 storm, Hanna said. Hailstorms again pummeled the area on April 17 and 25.
